ANALYTICAL MODELLING OF KARMAN VORTEX STREET

Journal Title: Metrology and Measurement Systems - Year 2005, Vol 12, Issue 4

Abstract

A new approach to the Karman vortex street modelling is presented. The model is based on observations of the Karman vortex street. The idea of the model is based on fundamental mechanical formulas. According to the model, vortices are created on the bluff body surface in the area of the boundary separation. The grow-up of the vortex results from the process looking like a reeling of some amount of the liquid on the vortex core during its rolling downstream on the surface of unmoved stagnation region. This process is represented in the model as a succeeding addition layer attachment. The vortex evolution has been divided into three stages. Hence three zones downstream the bluff body are distinguished: intensive development, stabilization and vortices decay. Influence of the fluid viscosity on the development process and rotation energy of the vortex has been also analyzed.
